Package: abiword-gnome
Version: 2.0.1+cvs.2003.11.07-2.2
Severity: normal
This is probably a problem with one of the packages which Abiword
depends on, but I'm not competent to diagnose it. Please have patience
with me.
Opening up a document in Abiword and attempting to read it by
scrolling with the arrow keys or the mouse is so slow as to render the
application useless. Granted, this isn't on a high-end system, but
e.g. Mozilla scrolls nicely enough.
As a workaround, PgUp/PgDn or similarly jumping up or down by clicking
the scroll bar between the actual scroller and the little arrows works
fast and reliably, but is a bit error-prone as it's hard to keep track
of your position in the text when it scrolls by large amounts.
Scrolling with the arrow keys is a hard habit to break, though.
It would appear that the renderer has problem with partial text, but
I'm just speculating here. Occasionally, it will scroll up by about
one pixel at a time, at a pace of about one or two pixels per second,
and then continue down at slightly larger pixel intervals, or vice
versa when scrolling up in the text. Often, repeated lines of pixels
are visible just below the lower edge of the window, as in this
simulation (perhaps slightly exaggerated):
#### # # # # # # ## ##### # #### # #
# # ## ## # # # # # # # # # ## #
#### # # ## # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# # # # # # # ###### # # # # # # #
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
... though only very briefly, but often enough to be noticeable (might
even be every line which scrolls over the lower edge of the window).
(Incidentally, the one misplaced line of pixels is intentional -- I
see that kind of effect often in conjunction with this phenomenon.)
I have not been able to pin this down on any particular font, although
it could be limited to a particular collection of fonts. The documents
I've experienced this with are written by different people, though
they presumably all use some version of Microsoft Word, probably from
Hell (aren't they all?). These documents have been in Swedish or
Finnish for the most part, which means they contain some accented
characters. But Pango should handle that just fine, shouldn't it?
If somebody can suggest a workaround, I'd be delighted. Like it or
not, I'm in a situation where ability to edit Word files is a must,
and not running Windows is a personal must.
